Gambier Island Conservancy is a charitable organization based in Gambier Island, British Columbia, classified by the CRA under public amenities. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $15K in revenue and $17K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 15% from donations, 66% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $48.
Compared with 521 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 50% of peers.
It reported gifts to 1 qualified donee totalling $5,000 in 2024, the largest being $5,000 to Howe Sound Biosphere Reserve Region. Its filed list of directors and trustees shows 7 names.
